As December arrives, a Quidditch Match between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff is about to take place.

Early Saturday morning, Arsenal, as captain, started rambling on and on.

"Don't be nervous, we've practiced this tactic for a long time!"

"Cho Chang, relax a bit, we still have two more rounds to go! We'll have plenty of opportunities!"

"If anyone's broom malfunctions, remember to call a stop immediately! No one getting injured is the best outcome!"

The players weren't initially that nervous, but after Arsenal's reprimand, they became somewhat uneasy.

Wizet, on the other hand, was unaffected. He was still reviewing his notes and hadn't heard a word Arsenal said.

We'll have to wait in the locker room later, where Arsenal will explain their tactics again.

Moreover, based on his extensive exam experience from his previous life, he knew that getting nervous would actually hinder his performance.

He has a methodology that only works for him and helps him calm down, such as reviewing more.

Wizards don't have many forms of entertainment, so it's rare to have Quidditch Match to watch. The students arrived early, full of enthusiasm, eagerly awaiting the start of the match.

Just as Wizet stepped onto the pitch, a loud bang came from the sky, and a Firework Eagle soared into the sky.

Those were fireworks lit by Fred and George, and he could still see the two of them waving at him.

In fact, many people in the stands were waving down.

Although the match was still half an hour away from starting, the stands around the stadium were already packed with people.

Seeing such a lively scene, Wizet was reminded of the football leagues in his previous life... mainly the World Cup and the Champions League.

Arsenal led them into the dressing room, where they changed into sky-blue Quidditch robes, knee pads, gloves, and breastplates.

Although the knee pads, gloves, and chest protector were made of leather, they were coated with a deep bronze-colored leather oil, making them look like real bronze armor.

Arsenal practiced their tactics one last time and gave their best pre-match statement. "We have many new players, Hufflepuff is relatively friendly, which will help you adapt to the pace of the game."

"But you must remember, only Hufflepuff are that friendly. When you face Slytherin next, you must be on your guard; they have a lot of dirty tricks up their sleeves!"

Roger smiled and added, "But don't worry too much, that's something to consider later."

"That's right!" Arsenal set up their tactics board. "Let's make some final adjustments! The bell will ring when the time is up."

While waiting for the match to start, Cho Chang also brought out Chocolate Frog to share with everyone.

"This is Penelope asked me to bring you. If you're feeling nervous, eat some Chocolate Frog. It can easily relieve anxiety."

At 11 o'clock, Wizet followed his teammates out of the locker room and headed to the center of the Quidditch Pitch.

Shouts could be heard all along the way.

Ravenclaw!

Hufflepuff will win!

"Just don't lose too badly! Our college emblem is an eagle!"

Hey! What discouraging things are you saying!

"We have to win! Ravenclaw can't afford to lose again!"

There are all sorts of opinions, Ravenclaw students are not very optimistic, as there are just too many new players on the team this year.

"Don't let them influence you!" Arsenal said with unwavering determination. "Today we're here to prove Ravenclaw right!"

"Yes!" The players' voices were equally firm.

With a deafening roar, another Magical Fireworks soared into the sky. The Firework Eagle let out a loud cry, flapped its broad wings, and soared into the sky until it disappeared completely.

According to Fred and George's vision, the complete form of these academy fireworks should be that they fly around the field once before slowly dissipating.

It's unclear how much longer the two of them will need to adjust before the Magical Fireworks achieve the desired effect.

But this doesn't stop them from earning some pocket money.

After the Firework Eagle disappeared, another loud bang erupted above them, and an adorable Firework Badger appeared.

"And there's more! We sell both types of fireworks!"

"Okay! Two miniature academy fireworks! Two Gold Galleon in return!"

"Look closely! This is the Badger and Eagle in the Sky that you wanted!"

From the stands, the excited shouts of two vendors could be heard.

Two huge explosions rang out, and the Firework Badger and the Firework Eagle appeared simultaneously, vying to be the first to cry out.

One minute before 11 o'clock, Madam Hooch appeared riding Flying Broomstick.

"Everyone, please hop on your Flying Broomstick!" she whistled, her voice and expression perfectly natural.

Refereeing is her main job, Quidditch Pitch are where she truly belongs.

Only in this place does Madam Hooch feel truly at home.

"Ride your Flying Broomstick and listen to my whistle..." She released the Bludger, holding Quaffle in her hand.

She checked the time and said, "Three... two... one, the competition begins!"

The whistle blew, Beater was the first to rise into the air, ready to deal with the Quaffle.

Wizet shifted his attention from the stands and focused entirely on the game.

When he heard Madam Hooch shout "The game begins," he immediately leaped into the air and caught the Quaffle that had just been thrown into the air.

"What incredible speed!" exclaimed commentator Lee Jordan. "As a rookie, Wizet has taken the Quaffle first!"

"His speed is incredible! Let's see his Flying Broomstick... it only Sweep Five Stars?"

He glanced at the commentary booth beside him. "Professor Flitwick, I thought you would also buy this newcomer a new Flying Broomstick!"

At Professor Flitwick's feet stood a high platform made of ebony.

Seeing that Wizet had taken the Quaffle first, he was in a great mood, with a big smile on his face.

"If we're lucky enough to win the Quidditch Cup this year, I'll try to get the whole team some new Flying Broomstick!"

As the two were talking, before his opponent could react, Wizet charged straight at Hufflepuff's goalpost.

Hufflepuff's goalkeeper was startled and kept moving back and forth in front of the three circles, trying to defend.

Without hesitation, Wizet hurled the Quaffle, the bright Quaffle arcing through the air, grazing the goalkeeper's nose before disappearing into the ring.

The stands on the Ravenclaw side erupted instantly, with students shouting wildly.

"Ravenclaw gets a perfect 10!" Lee Jordan exclaimed in a high-pitched voice, "In less than a minute!"

"Wizet has scored the first goal! I've been commentating for so long, and I've never seen a goal scored so quickly!"

The Hufflepuff team felt the same way; before they could react, Wizet had already taken the lead.

Taking advantage of this time, Arsenal roared, "Tactics! Tactics!"

Madam Hooch served again, and Wizet took the lead, a bit faster than the Chaser, and caught the Quaffle once more...
